Gentoo penguin and chick. Adult gentoo penguin (Pygoscelis papua) with its newly-hatched 1-day-old chick. Gentoo penguins grow to lengths of 70 centimetres and live in large colonies on Antarctic islands. They feed on plankton, fish and cephalopods (such as squid), and have an elongated beak that allows them to take larger prey than any other penguin.
